Default Koni SA's: Adjustable ride height?

I have Koni SA's with Granatelli springs. It is just too low. I have 18 inch HRE's on the front and there is no gap at all. A speedbump pushed my y-pipe off of my right header. I no longer have the instructions that came with the shocks. Can I adjust the spring perch height? I think I can but not sure. If so, I know they have to be on the low setting. If I can't I will be getting different springs.

Looks like you're going to be getting different springs. Tough luck man.

Yeah, I think I will go with Hotchkis. They only drop it an inch.

The front koni sa's do have an adjustable spring perch. The lower setting drops the front about 3/4", so with lower springs it can definitely be too much. The rears have no ride height adjustment (since rear springs and shocks are independantly mounted). If you can get the front springs compressed without removing the shock assembly from the car, you can set the clip for the perch in the higher groove with minimal effort. If you can't get the spring compressed with removing the assembly though, it's going to take a bit more effort.
